WARNING: long bhaashan ahead...sorry friends, couldnt help it...It had to go long.. and errors honge kyun ki emotional mode pe likha hai...
I am not sure where to
start from...chalo, let me start from the show itself
About
the show...
Arjun
is not just another show to me. For almost a year, I had not turned on television
for any other show except Arjun. Thats how it had established its place in my
heart.
Right
from the promo, I was hooked to it and I decided that this is the only show
worth watching. I literally stopped seeing all other shows as Arjun distinctly
made a benchmark for itself and I couldnt sit through any other tear jerker,
saas bahu serials. Well I wasnt a fan of typical saas bahu saazish family
dramas but still, I had some regular shows which I just quit after watching
Arjun!
The
first episode was a fire cracker...it just put up the show in top league of
brilliant crime shows! That remains my most favourite episode till date...Well
there were more of such brilliant episodes like the check mate episode but as
they say the first best impression was made by the first episode...so that
place stays intact!
********************************
About
the team...
ETF,
a brilliant team of well defined characters was the primary factor, of course
apart from the hot sharp cop Arjun, which pulled me towards the show and I was
just immersed in Arjun prem (show as well the cop).
Sameer
Rathod played by Behzaad Khan, Chief ETF. Man of principles and made his impact deep in
our hearts right from the first episode. His cold vibes and hot glaring
exchanges between his second in command Arjun Rawte established the popular
Rathod Rawte, RR chemistry as I always refer to them...They were remarkable and
no other Jodi could grab that position in terms of the brilliance they
displayed!
"Dammit Rawte" being his ultimate
dialog which we can never ever get tired of...He was a capable chief who
could put all his team members in right places and make them pull up socks at
the time of need...If someone could pull the reigns of his second in command Rawte
to some extent, it was one and only Rathod...
Their lost friendship,
their past, and perhaps many equations circling the Roshni and her death were
kept hidden and perhaps all of that would remain unexplored and deep buried now!
Miss you chief! You just
disappeared without a mention of exit...But you will always be remembered as Arjun's
Rathod!
Arjun
Rawte played by Shaleen Malhotra:
Ab innke baare mein kya
aur kaise bathavum? His magic has hypnotized all our hearts! "Kuch toh choot raha
hai" Samjhe ya samjhaavum? Kehte kehte humaare dil aur dimaag mein uthar gaye ke
ab dil ko show se choot hi nahi paa rahi hoom!
A haunting painful past
surrounds him and that makes him all the more ruthless and angry at times...That
arrogance, anger and adamant nature makes him all the more hot, dashing and loveable...yes
in fictions, we adore and love such guys though reality speaks a different language..
His stern, ever serious angry
face makes us wonder if he can ever smile...His glares are enough to burn the
opponent down...his aims, his gut feelings, his intuitions never fail and that
makes him the super cop of ETF!
He is such an huge
inspiration to me and my stories that I cant think of another name to my hero
in my stories...
Shreekanth Sen aka
Shree played by Sidharth Sen
The
perfect techie who has the ability to track down any information, hack
computers, mail servers and what not...
Well
equipped in all gadgets, its a treat to watch him play the perfect techie
cop...Any gadget you name it and he has it...
An
inevitable asset to the team and he just left without a word...without a trace...miss
you techie sen!
Chotu
played by Ketan Karande
Commando
Chotu...he and Shree were the comic relief to the otherwise ever serious
team...their hilarious chit chats always made the serious episode light and
added a comic touch to it!
His
links and informers always helped the investigation and steered the team to the
right leads! His threats and punches to the criminals and suspects were a treat
to watch!
Will
miss you bheem aka commando!
Riya Mukherji played by
Sana Khan
Research
specialist...she entered ETF with a dhamaaka...a sizzling fight with our
hero...They shared some cute sweet moments which we would always cherish!
Ariya
which could have become a magical love story ended abruptly, painfully with her
death! Miss her and Ariya always!
Aisha Kapoor played by
Shital Shah
Lady
dabaang or the jungili billi as I had termed her...her entry was the most
dhamakedar...one of the best episodes...Introduced as Nadia, an undercover
cop and then goes on to form a vital part of ETF...She is a role model, an
inspiration to all women...her courage, her brilliance need no
introduction...Everybody is a fan of the daring cop she portrayed...She was
the only one who could answer back...and give tit for tat replies to Rathod
and Rawte!
Midway
into her entry, there was even a romantic track started or a budding track
between Rathod and Aisha but unfortunately, it also met an abrupt end with the
chief's sudden exit!
Will
miss you lots Aisha...you are one of my most favourite characters in Arjun. No
other lady cop can fill that place of yours!
Liza D'Cruz played by
Ritu Chauhan
Again
a most promising entry into ETF...a forensic expert who can dig into any clue
and extract details helpful to the case...
Adding to it, is a past story with Shree...she is his
college mate...to be precise his rival in college...their fire cracker
reunion had all promises of a potential love track...Again it wasn't explored
and ended without a trace!
Sakshi Anand played by
Mrual Thakur:
An
investigative journalist and deputed into ETF for making the public aware of
ETF's work. Her entry and her purpose of being in ETF was always under
scanner...Her characterization was ignored totally and as a result, it was the
most weakest...Many of us had given constructive inputs for building and improving
her character but nothing worked out.
Behind
that smile, there sure was a pain and a sorrowful past...there were small
hints to it but nothing much was explored leaving a big question mark on what
it was!
But
despite all that, she sure managed to make her place in my heart.. Was really
looking forward for the romantic track between Arjun and Sakshi... Their chemistry
had started off creating magic but now that she leaves, its ended abruptly as
well...
*************************************************
Last but not the least is
Roshni
Rawte played by Samiksha. She is not part of ETF but still is a vital part
of Arjun. Afterall, she is the only female who has been lucky enough to get the
hot cop's love and attention. But unlucky too that she died brutally at the
hands of a deadly criminal Sikandar. Arjun's love story and his life with his wife
Roshni ended incomplete!
Roshni was
the light of Arjun's life and with her death, he plunged into total darkness!
Wondering what happens now to the story of Arjun avenging her
death!
"Pyar ka dard sirf wahi
samjh sakhte hai jinnke pyar adhoora reh gaya ho..." a touching line, a
parting dialog from Riya and the same completed by Arjun lingers in my heart even
today!
This statement has been proved time and again in this show and now
I am able to understand because my love for this show also remains incomplete!
Show khatam nahi hua magar sab kahaaniyaan adhoora reh gaya...aur humesha keliye adhoora hi rahega!
A beautiful journey which ends incomplete...just the memories of it remain...Memories are unlimited but I couldnt gather myself to put it all together in the VM...I can never do complete justice to it any day since every Arjun moment has been memorable...isiliye mere dedication bhi aadha adhoora hai...bas ek chota sa version for the lambi daastaan!!
ETF aur Arjun ke aaade adhoore kahaaniyon ke naam...

********************************
With ETF no more in the story, many things vanishes forever...Things,
as in lifeless ones which were equally important part of our beloved
show...the ETF SUVs, their ETF jackets, the ETF office, the mugs, the conference room, their ID
cards, the dialogs they voiced when introducing themselves as ETF officers
everything goes away from us leaving a big hole, a vacuum in all our hearts
which will never be filled up again now! They are lifeless but added soulful meaning to the whole show!
I know I am being overly
emotional and sentimental but just couldn't help it...
*********************************
What the show did to me...well you can ask what it did not do to me...that would be a small reply...
It has made me a little crazy...I smile, I cry, I get emotional, I laugh, I romance too with it...All my weekends are dedicated to the show...I plan my outings in such a way that I am before the TV during 8-9 on saturday and sunday. Yes, have to thank my family too for adjusting and understanding my Arjun prem!
I started writing stories, from romance to thrillers, to horror, to fantasies...touched some sensitive topics and social causes in my stories, got some amazing friends who share my same paagalpann for the show, learnt to make video mixes...joined twitter which I never thought I will...actually so many more...I cant list it out here because it will go on and on...
It gave me my amazing set of BBs...so many friends for life...
Well the show and this forum has been really an amazing part of life...shaayad isiliye, show ke revamp hona aur team ka jaana itna bhaari padh raha hai...And I am not able to take it lightly! 😭
But well, I know its all part of life and we need to take it in that spirit and try to move on!🤗
Easy to say and tough to practice but since its not in our hands, we just learn to live with it and move on...
Dil kartha hai ke sab ko ETF mein khaid kar doom so that they just stay in the show but I know thats not possible...So wishing them all the best in their life and career! Let all their future projects succeed!
For our beloved SM and the new team which joins him, I wish all the very best! Let this combination and plot work wonders like the previous one!
And for myself and the other Arjun crazy fans here, I truly wish we accept the revamp of our favorite show wholeheartedly!
Quoting my favorite lines "God, give me the strength to accept things which are beyond my control"
